    Nice work!
    You're slowly catching up with me. I've been busy sanding coat number 7 of resin.
    I also deviated from the plans and opened up access to undet the fore deck

    Are you planning fibreglassing your hull? I did mine, 1 strip down the keel and around the stern, then both sides. Currently on coat # 5 of resin with sanding in between.

    A tip...
    My instructions had the planking stop at the stern hull transom boards. I planked the hull over the boards to make a nicer finish.

    Agreed.
    The plywood is poorly stamped and requires much sanding. The Canadian 44 had an enclosed cabin, so for me I've scratched build the cabin and didn't use any of the supplied wood for it.

    Great project
    I'm currently doing the same kit, but I also got the Dumas running gear kit with the model. I'll be converting my boat to the Canadian version of the 44' lifeboat (Bamfield Lifeboat).
